Shoppers favourite size inclusive fashion brand with 6-30 sizes and 20,000 loyal members: Proud Poppy

An Aussie nurse took a step in a completely new direction when she launched her very own fashion brand back in 2019. With just a tub of clothes in her hallway, Tara McKeon embarked on a journey to create a size-inclusive label to help women of all sizes to feel fantastic. Fast forward to today and Proud Poppy is a huge success, with 20,000 loyal members across the globe, and orders placed one every two and a half minutes. Home to everyday basics, eveningwear, accessories and more, there are hundreds of gorgeous pieces available, with weekly new arrivals online and across their eight stores. More than just a fashion brand, Proud Poppy is a safe and stylish space for women to 'reclaim their confidence,' and look good doing it. Best yet, you can update your wardrobe using the code 7NEWS15 to score 15 per cent off your order. Proud Poppy was created by Tara McKeon, who went on an incredible journey from emergency nurse to fashion entreupenur. As the founder of one of the most successful size-inclusion fashion brands, she has sold millions of dollars worth of products, and is helping women to feel confident again. 'I started Proud Poppy at one of the lowest points in my life,' Tara tells Best Picks. 'After gaining over 60kg during pregnancy, I was squeezing into size 22s, hiding from the world because nothing fit. And the more women I spoke to, the more I realised it wasn't just me – no matter their size, women everywhere felt left out of fashion.' Determined to change this common narrative, Tara set out on a mission to create an ' inclusive, and affordable fashion brand ' for all women, regardless of body type. Proud Poppy has weekly releases of new collections featuring an incredible size range of 6-30 — something other brands on the market are unable to offer. With thousands of reviews and a loyal fan base, community is a big part of the brand's ethos, with shoppers raving about the confidence-boosting styles on offer. Proud Poppy's community board is full of five-star reviews, with thousands of happy shopppers sharing their thoughts on the new fashion finds, accessories and more they've got their hands on. 'This is new style top but I'm hoping there will be more like it soon! Easy and comfy to wear and the print is just beautiful! It's become a firm favourite,' one shopper commented. 'What can I say other than, STUNNING! This is beautiful in more ways than one. The fabric is super soft, the print is stunning and it's beautiful on the skin,' another wrote. 'Another fabulous shirt. . . I'm so happy with the cut and fit. Have since purchased the coordinating pants and am looking forward to teaming them with a coloured tank (there are a lot of colours in this pretty to choose from),' a third happy shopper commented.

Aussie Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Faith Ward reveals emotional prank on her mother after landing a spot in iconic team

Aussie Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Faith Ward has revealed she pranked her mother after finding out she was on the iconic squad by playfully pretending she failed in her audition. The former Perth-based dancer is just one of six rookies to make the squad, joining the world-famous cheerleading squad of just 36 in the upcoming season of the US National Football League (NFL). Ward, 22, joined Sunrise for her first TV interview since the news broke on Monday, as she explained the emotional way she told her mother she had been chosen for the side. 'I rang my mum and tried to prank her,' Ward began. Ward said her mother attempted to soothe her disappointment, after hearing the fake news. 'I called her and said, 'mum, it wasn't my day.' Bless her cotton socks, she said, 'you know what Faith (it's ok)' then I showed her the uniform (and she freaked out).' An upbeat Ward previously worked on a cruise ship before being recruited for the cheer squad. Fresh from being presented with the uniform, she admitted the news still hasn't sunk in yet. 'It was all the hard work over the years,' Ward said. 'I am getting emotional because it feels like everything, I worked towards paid off. That feeling will never compare. Seriously, it was the most heartwarming, surreal feeling. I am so beyond incredibly grateful. 'Seeing the uniform in my hands knowing I am going to join most iconic team in the world was just like, 'someone wake me up from this dream'. I couldn't believe it. That's why as you can see in that photo, I am just as shocked as you guys are.' Ward displayed a huge amount of humility as she explained there aren't a lot of jobs for dancers, so she felt this was a huge moment for her and the hard work she has done. 'Growing up, I was an all-star cheerleader, professional dancer, worked my whole life towards achieving a goal,' Ward said. 'Obviously in the dance industry there's only so many jobs. In my brain I was like 'I'm reaching for the stars, I want to go for DCC'. 'When I got recruited, (I was) reached out (to) by one of the staff members, and I thought this is the time to take my chance and reach for the stars and go for my dreams. 'That's why I applied.' Ward, who has gained the nickname 'Flexi Faith' for her incredible flexibility, just finished at training camp. She confessed she is yet to do the jump splits in a routine, saying she was anxiously awaiting it. 'I'm like, 'when are we doing it?' I'm so for it. '(When I do it, I'll be thinking) oh my goodness, I have down one of the most iconic routines. 'Get the legs up, get the split and nail it. That's what will be going through my head.' The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders just got a 400 per cent increase in pay, due to the popularity of their Netflix show titled America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Ward said she was ready for the crazy adventure that will be being on the team. 'This is the smallest class of rookies,' she said. 'To have made the team and being (only one of) six people only out of thousands of girls that applied it is a dream come true. 'I felt it was rewarding for my family and friends to have seen that. 'They have seen that side of me to how hard I have worked to get to where I am. 'It felt like they were winning with me, and they were just as excited.'
